CORONATION Street's wicked solicitor, Joel Deering, played by Calum Lill, was in Skipton last week to help raise money and awareness of alzheimer's.

The actor, whose character in the ITV soap is a twisted, Jekyll and Hyde character, was at Carleton Court Residential Home in Carleton Road, to take part in an awareness walk with residents and help raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK.

Calum, who lives in Manchester, and before Coronation Street was in Hollyoaks, was invited to join staff and residents at the care home by his mum, who lives in Craven and who is a carer at Carleton Court.

Heavy rain did not deter those who took part in the walk, and they took to the streets in waterproofs, with Callum taking turns in pushing wheelchairs before returning to the home for chats.

Calum stayed at Gallaber Park, Hellifield, while visiting the area.
